Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study parameter is the difference in reflective functioning and emotion regulation between mothers with a child born of sexual violence and the comparison groups. Reflective functioning is based on the capacity to interpret another person*s actions n order to make sense of, and anticipate, emotional processes. For caregivers this equates to being attuned and enabling a child to develop the ability to see themselves as distinct from other people; with their own desires, feelings and thoughts. Reflective functioning is pivotal in attachment. Emotion regulation is based on the idea that the capacity to experience and respond appropriately to a range of emotions, is central to the ability to inhibit impulsive actions associated with negative experiences and their subsequent emotional expression.	—
